WordCamp Talks < 1.0.0 Beta3 - CSV Injection
Strategic Overview
< 1.0.0-beta3N/AVulnerability Overview
The WordCamp Talks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSV Injection in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 Beta2 via the wct_generate_csv_content() function. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to embed untrusted input into exported CSV files, which can result in code execution when these files are downloaded and opened on a local system with a vulnerable configuration.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.0.0-beta3, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')) The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
